Ultrasound ver. 3.0

Valerie went in for another ultrasound today. There is nothing she or any other pregnant mom for that matter likes more than ultrasounds. Any chance they get to see that little baby growing inside to justify the discomfort and general blechiness is a plus.

One of Valerie’s normal pregnancy complaints is her tendency to… “develop fully” personally while pregnant and then to give birth to relatively small children. Our kids have always had the tendency to be and to remain small on the pediatrician growth charts. They are usually in the 10-15 percentile at the most.

That said, each child has been larger than the previous at birth.

The ultrasound tech today measured this little guy (and did get to verify it is a boy today - no denying it) at 3 lbs 1 oz, and said right now it is in the 77% for size so we may be in for a big’un here.

I’ve included the obligatory ultrasound pictures since I know they would be expected. The first one is a little tough to figure out bit it islooking straight on at his face, and the other one is a profile.

I'm with Val! There is nothing more fun than an ultrasound when you're prego. It helps it feel worth it, even if only for those few moments!

I'm not gonna lie that first one is a little scary looking, but the second is so cute!! I can't wait to see him in real life.

I love ultrasound pictures!! They get easier and easier to figure out. Good luck with a big baby--pray it's not 10 lbs!

He already looks cute! I really love the profile, because he has the cutest little nose. Ultrasounds are super fun, but finally getting the baby out of you is even better!! (I would love that to happen SOON)
